MCKINLEY VULCANUS MID AQX TEST
The Vulcanus Mid AQX from McKINLEY is an all-rounder for medium-length tours that impresses with its flexibility and lightness. The upper of the shoe is made of airy mesh and synthetic materials covered with leather.
The eyelets of the laces are interwoven with the upper material of the shaft and provide the necessary support and stability. In order to generate additional support, the eyelet was set back at the level of the ankle, so that the shaft can enclose the foot even more closely.
